I don’t know about all y’all, but fall is my favorite season. Those days of triple-digit heat are over and cooler weather is finally here, at least today while I’m pecking at this here keyboard. Football season has begun and before you know it, Christmas music will be heard in retail stores. Some of y’all who might’ve recently moved to Texas from New England or other northern states might not realize autumn has actually arrived. We might not have the beautiful fall foliage you’d see in the Allegheny Mountains or the Smokies, but there are definite signs that it is autumn in Texas.
As a public service, I think I should educate y’all newcomers to our great state on ways to identify the change of seasons here. I don’t care what the calendar says. You know it is fall in Texas when:
You spend an hour every day scooping leaves and acorns out of your swimming pool.
